Overview
- Buffalo moved Slay to the reserve/did not report list, freeing a roster spot and ensuring the Bills keep his contract rights for the rest of the season.
- Slay told Emmanuel Acho he does not want to pack up and move again, wants time with family and noted Buffalo’s cold weather as factors in his decision.
- Agent Drew Rosenhaus said Slay will take a few days away from football before deciding whether to continue playing, leaving retirement on the table.
- To claim Slay the Bills waived cornerback Ja’Marcus Ingram, who was then claimed by the Texans, and Sean McDermott called the situation unfortunate as Buffalo later added safety Darnell Savage.
- The Eagles also placed a claim, but Slay can only play for Buffalo this season; if he sits out he forfeits remaining game checks, with potential signing‑bonus recovery discussed in reports.
